    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile-guided_optimization

    In computer programming, profile-guided optimization (PGO, sometimes pronounced as pogo [1]), also known as profile-directed feedback (PDF) [2] or feedback-directed optimization (FDO), [3] is the compiler optimization technique of using prior analyses of software artifacts or behaviors ("profiling") to improve the expected runtime performance of the program.

    Spoofing happens when someone sends emails making it look like it they were sent from your account. In reality, the emails are sent through a spoofer's non-AOL server. They show your address in the "From" field to trick people into opening them and potentially infecting their accounts and computers. Differences between hacked and spoofed

  6. Protocol spoofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_spoofing

    The time to transmit the ACK back to the sender is a function of the phone lines, as opposed to the modem's speed, and is typically about 1 ⁄ 10 of a second on short links and may be much longer on long-distance links or data networks like X.25. For a protocol using small packets, this delay can be larger than the time needed to send a packet.

    The best current practices for network ingress filtering are documented by the Internet Engineering Task Force in BCP 38 and 84, which are defined by RFC 2827 and RFC 3704, respectively. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] BCP 84 recommends that upstream providers of IP connectivity filter packets entering their networks from downstream customers, and discard any ...

  8. VLAN hopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLAN_hopping

    The basic concept behind all VLAN hopping attacks is for an attacking host on a VLAN to gain access to traffic on other VLANs that would normally not be accessible. There are two primary methods of VLAN hopping: switch spoofing and double tagging. Both attack vectors can be mitigated with proper switch port configuration.

    A Smurf attack is a distributed denial-of-service attack in which large numbers of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets with the intended victim's spoofed source IP are broadcast to a computer network using an IP broadcast address. [1]
